The Aboriginal Healing Foundation helps people cope with the legacy of abuse in residential schools. It funds healing programs such as talking circles and counseling. Mike Degagne is the Executive Director. He says today’s announcement is a step in the right direction. Mike Degagne (Executive Director, Aboriginal Healing Foundation): It really does mark, historically, a recognition by government and churches that something had to be done. And so, on that basis, we’re very pleased that this package has finally come out. Whether or not survivors will be happy with it completely, I’m not sure. But certainly many of them have been waiting anxiously for these payments and 15 survivors die every week, and the longer we wait and the longer this is delayed, the more impact it’ll have on our community. Madeleine Allakariallak: The Aboriginal Healing Foundation funds programs for residential school survivors, but healing whole communities take time and money. And the group’s work is winding down because their funding is running out. The $2-billion compensation deal with provide some short-term stability for the Healing Foundation, but as Trina Roach reports, even that falls short. Trina Roach: The Aboriginal Healing Foundation held the first of six regional meetings in Halifax today. About 40 people came to hear about the Foundation’s final report. Thick volumes, the result of eight years of research. The Healing Foundation was set up in 1998. It was given $350-million to set up programs to address the legacy of abuse in residential schools across Canada. Eight years later, and that money is almost gone. The last program ends next March. Today’s settlement package will change that. The Foundation will receive $125-million. Executive Director Mike Degagne welcomes the money, but says it still does not meet the need. Mike Degage: Just as they are finishing and just as we are winding down finally, a new healing package will come out of this final settlement agreement that will give us another three years of life and give our projects another three years of life. But I think the point that we’ve been trying to make is that, based on the literature that we’re reviewed, at least ten years of work is required in the community to make lasting healing impacts. 3 Transcripts - 1 1 M ay 2 0 0 6 Transcriptio ns d u 1 1 m ai 2 0 0 6 Trina Roach: Viola Robinson sits on the Board of Directors. She says from the initial $35-million, the current compensation deal, the government has not done enough. Viola Robinson (Aboriginal Healing Foundation): No, not by the reaction and sentiments that have been expressed by t he survivors themselves, certainly not. I mean, we have had to turn down many, many applications. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done. The work has really just begun. Trina Roach: There are 86,000 residential school survivors alive today, but the ripple effect of the abuse reaches almost 400,000 Aboriginal people across Canada. Rhonda Claes is with the Native Council of Nova Scotia, and works with survivors and their families. She says what ’s really needed is education. Rhonda Claes (Native Council of Nova Scotia): Until the problem is understood, how Native people were subject to genocide, and how they’re trying to rebuild now, until that’s fully understood by all Canadians, I mean Native people are painfully aware, but until it’s understood by all Canadians, then I really don’t see any measurable healing occurring. Trina Roach: The Aboriginal Healing Foundation will meet again in Quebec at the end of May. 4 Transcripts - 1 1 M ay 2 0 0 6 Transcriptio ns d u 1 1 m ai 2 0 0 6 May 10, 2006 CBC-TV National: The National Transcript (22:04) Residential schools package approved by federal government Peter Mansbridge Peter Mansbridge (anchor): Native residential schools, three words that present horrifying images of abuse. Tonight, native leaders say they can finally put the past to rest with a historic compensation package announced today in the House of Commons. Ottawa is setting aside nearly $2 billion for former students, many who say they were sexually or physically abused. Jim Prentice (Minister of Indian Affairs): We hope that this settlement agreement with bring closure to this unfortunate chapter in our history and help us to move forward in a new spirit of partnership with aboriginal Canadians. Mansbridge: About 90,000 former residential school students will receive 10,000 each; those older than 65 can apply for the money the money fast-tracked. Here’s Grand Chief Phil Fontaine’s reaction to the deal. Grand Chief Phil Fontaine (Assembly of First Nations): Well, I’m extremely happy, of course; it’s a moment for Canada. In our view, Canada has come of age because it - through this agreement, it recognizes the worst human rights violation in the history of this country. Mansbridge: The agreement still has to be approved by courts in each province. 5 Transcripts - 1 1 M ay 2 0 0 6 Transcriptio ns d u 1 1 m ai 2 0 0 6 May 10, 2006 Newsworld: Politics with Don Newman Transcript (17:08) Compensation Package for Survivors of Residential Schools Don Newman Don Newman (Anchor): After years of negotiation between the federal government, Aboriginal leaders, and the major mainline churches, Indian Affairs Minister Jim Prentice today announced an agreement to compensate students sent to residential schools who claim they suffered abuse while there. Jim Prentice (Indian Affairs Minister): The government recognizes, Mr. Speaker, the sad legacy of Indian residential schools. We hope that this settlement agreement will bring closure to this unfortunate chapter in our history, and help us to move forward in a new spirit of partnership with Aboriginal Canadians. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Tina Keeper (Liberal Indian and Northern Affairs Critic): Working cooperatively towards the well being of the First Nations, the Métis Nation and the Inuit was a high priority of the previous Liberal government. It has remained a prime concern for the opposition from the very beginning of this new Parliament. So, we are pleased to see that the current government has endorsed the agreement in principle signed in November 2005 by the then Liberal government, the Assembly of First Nations, and church leaders. 6 Transcripts - 1 1 M ay 2 0 0 6 Transcriptio ns d u 1 1 m ai 2 0 0 6 May 10, 2006 APTN: APTN National News Transcript (7:02 p.m.) Residential Schools Compensation Package Madeleine Allakariallak Madeleine Allakariallak (Anchor): Residential school survivors over the age of 65 can start applying for their compensations.

It now moves to the final step, approval by courts hearing class-action lawsuits. But in the meantime, survivors 65 or older will be getting an advance payment of $8,000. Jim Prentice (Indian Affairs Minister): The government recognizes that many former students are aging and that these funds must be made available to them as soon as possible. Eligible former students may apply for this advance payment of $8,000 by completing the necessary application forms, which are available today, Mr. Speaker. We hope that this settlement agreement will bring closure to this unfortunate chapter in our history, and help us to move forward in a new spirit of partnership with Aboriginal Canadians. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Madeleine Allakariallak: Application forms for the advance payments are available at the Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada website, and that website is www.irsr-rqpi.gc.ca or you can call them at 1-800-816-7293. Payments for survivors under 65 won’t be made until court approval of the deal and that’s expected by the end of this year. 7 Transcripts - 1 1 M ay 2 0 0 6 Transcriptio ns d u 1 1 m ai 2 0 0 6 May 10, 2006 CBC Newsworld: News Update Transcript (16:03) The federal government has finally approved a deal to compensate victims of abuse at Native Residential Schools Sarika Sehgal Sarika Sehgal: The federal government has finally approved a deal to compensate victims of abuse at Native Residential Schools.

  • Identity and Environment in Contemporary Inuit Music
    Prairie Perspectives 11 Identity and environment in contemporary Inuit music John Lehr, Jeff Tabvahtah, Julie Bartlett, University of Winnipeg Abstract: The music of the indigenous peoples of North America was profoundly affected by European contact. In Canada’s Arctic, external influences upon the Inuit reflected the history of contact with Europeans. Whalers from northwest Europe introduced the fiddle, jigs and reels; the missionaries who followed promoted hymns and gospel music. The penetration of radio in the 1960s gave access to the mass media of southern Canada and the United States and exposure to a wider variety of musical genres. The introduction of tape recorders, computers and jet travel all contributed to the evolution of modern Inuit music. Embracing a variety of genres ranging from heavy metal to country and gospel it is distinguished by its lyrical content, use of Inuktitut and frequently by a unique fusion of Inuit traditional elements with introduced styles. As elsewhere, music has become a vehicle for cultural and political expression. Issues of Inuit identity, cultural and political survival, and the relationship of the people to the land are commonly addressed by contemporary Inuit musicians. Music and dance are an integral part of Inuit knowledge and heritage. Before contact with Europeans the Inuit of Canada’s North (Fig. 1), as elsewhere in the circumpolar region, had a unique repertoire of songs and dances that in their lyrical content and instrumentation reflected an intimate relationship with the arctic environment. The two principal traditional forms of Inuit music were the drum dance and throat singing. Neither technique is unique to Inuit culture as variants are found in other cultures around the world, but the way in which both are performed is unique to the Inuit.
